Thank you very much.

I'll check how to install SaltFW, I'm a noob in CFW.
I think you will fine SaltFW perfect then... You literally just drag n' drop the arm9loaderhax.bin into the SD root. Then, you're done!
P.S. There is some other stuff you can do with SaltFW, but it isn't needed...
P.P.S. Only use arm9loaderhax.bin, the others are for ShadowNAND...

Should I also replace the arm9loaderhax.bin, in the NAND?

I would probably replace the one from the NAND for now, just make sure your luma payload on your sd is renamed to arm9loaderhax.bak for now...
uh, I renamed the LUMA bin and put the salt bin into the sd card, the blue light turned up, but the screen keep black, and nothing happened.
Did I do something wrong?
Cheers

Are you at 11.3? If so, latest release won't work. Try this build instead: https://up1.secretalgorithm.com/#9nWto0_NMY-nziPd5cWaaw

EDIT: To fix the issue in the video, you should format your SysNAND once. I've had that happen and as far as I know that's the only way to fix that.

I tried updated SaltCFW, it's booting, but still freezing.

Yeah, it's booting, thank you so much, but still freezing :(

Yeah as I said, format your Sysnand after making save backups and such, and it'll be sorted. :)
You mean format the system will solve the freezing issue?

Since I haven't play a lot, format won't be a big issue for me.

Or do you think downgrade to 11.2 will be a better solution?

Oh, so it works now?
Yes,after format, seems everything is OK, now. Wired.

Thank you so much for the help.

The format and recovering is quite tedious though.
Are there any method to backup all the cia, app settings and data?
Cheers

Not really, you now have a brand new system, but with A9LH. I'd probably recommend installing FBI in HB Launcher, then installing the CIA version of FBI (or Devmenu if you're a rebel like me). Then I'd start from there... I'd definitely recommend also ripping all your 3DS cartridges (and DS if you have a DS flashcard) and installing those... So, Luma is working for you then? I'd like to report it to github...

Yes, the Luma is working now.

I already installed FBI, btw how to install FBI in HB Launcher, I always use HS injection.

Are there any particular benefits from ripping cartridges?

Well, if you have a big enough SD card, ripping cartridges means that you don't have to carry your physical copies with you at all times. You can then keep them somewhere where they'll be safe (like in a box). That way, you have a legal physical and digital copy...
P.S. HS injection works too, it really just depends on how you want to do it...

Thanks a lot.

I'm always feeling there're too many games, too little time :(.
Back to the gba time, most games I bought sleeping in the original box without a touch :(. The only game I lost the box is zelda minish cap.

Cheers,
